It's beyond cruel @secretsquirrel1. Liz Kendall and Co are still hell bent on getting these proposals through.

you have to care for someone 35 hours a week if I’m correct so it works out about £3 per hour . Below the minimum wage . If a million people lose pip and their carers have to work that’s a lot of people needing carers from local government on £10 or more an hour . Not to mention training and hiring extra tribunal staff

Remember when pip first came in and people died , this will be far worse

I hope these proposals will be scrapped/watered down/legally challenged. They have not been thought through by the Government. Labour will be out of Government come the next GE.

The back benchers who’ve waited 14 years must know they won’t be voted in again in their lifetime with starmer . They need to get rid of him to save themselves if not for us

Dont know about anyone else but , .....that says to me that the areas that they haven't consulted on , such as the pip and scrapping the wca and using pip as one assessment , will be debated in parliament , then amendments will be suggested and then it will go to a vote 🤷 so surely with all the controversy and doubt over these reforms by so many of there own MPs and other party's , lib Dems , greens etc that there will have to be amendments made .... I wouldn't count on the Tories to vote against these though once there being debated in parliament as the only reason they are said to be voting against them now is to cause labour headaches ... Still more than enough push back without the Tories to get tweaks ....

That’s what I said earlier. Every part of them is brutal. Apart from the 4?point rule I think they need to keep pip and lcwra separate so we are left with something if we need to go tribunal

Not about welfare reforms as such, but checking on 'facts' purported in this Spending review:

It's all politics, isn't it. The Tories themselves were planning, ultimately, even more severe cost-cutting to benefits, but since they tanked to become 4th behind even the Lib Dems in popularity, they're changing their tune to make it look like they're friends of the disabled. Mel Stride was the worst, back then! Equating all mental health issues to be feeling "a bit down and bluesy" ffs! He banged on and on about slashing PIP and LCWRA, and now he's accusing Labour of cost cutting and not getting reform right? This sounds to me like the Tories are planning to vote against, as hoped. I wasn't sure the other day when Hunt suddenly whirred awake and said his nasty piece, but despite that, with this statement from Stride deliberately timed to make Kendall look inept today, I get the feeling they'll go for her in the vote. And his comment will not have escaped her notice!

I was shocked at Mel Stride saying it. Feel like I'm on a roller coaster ride everyday with this all.

so fed up with all this, watching these politicians without a care in the world decide on whether I will be destitute and homeless makes me feel sick to my stomach, I really want to just go to sleep and not wake up.

They did. That's why what Mel Stride said today shocked me.

I read at first they said labour didn’t go far enough then it seemed once they realised they’ll backlash said they’ll vote against as it’s cruel .

Report in the guardian says reeves claims reforms may be tweaked. Don’t know if it’s any different to what we’ve heard so far . If someone can screenshot it please that would be great
